Christian Leadership in Education Office (CLEO) provides postgraduate training in education in Cork, Ireland. Originally founded in 1991 as the Christian Formation Resource Centre (CFRC) by a number of Catholic religious orders, in 1997 it came solely under the Presentation Brothers, becoming Christian Leadership in Education Office.[1] Since 1992 it has run postgraduate degrees, for primary and secondary schoolteachers validated by the University of Hull.[2] [3] Since the partnership with the University of Hull commenced over 250 teachers have gained Masters in Education, and over 20 have completed doctorates.[citation needed]

The MA is a 3-year programme, starting with a first-year certificate followed by a diploma before a final MA year.[4] CLEO is based in Markdye House, Mardyke, Cork.[5] Lecturers are delivered Cork, after school hours during school terms.[6] Each year the CLEO Annual Reunion Lecture is hosted in Mardyke House. The MEd is recognised by the Irish Department of Education, with some 50 graduates being appointed school principal.[citation needed]

In 2019 CLEO in partnership with St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth and Alliance for Catholic Education (University of Notre Dame), began offering the Diploma in Catholic Education (DCE).[2][7]
